"FUCK WAY TO BE TOO RELATABLE. "Listen, says ambition, nervously shifting her weight from / one boot to another—why don't you get going? / For there I am, in the mossy shadows, under the trees. / And to tell the truth I don't want to let go of the wrists / of idleness, I don't want to sell my life for money, / I don't even want to come in out of the rain."" — Sep 24, 2017 03:19AM

She looked straight into my eyes and said calmly, “Your father was beautiful.” She didn’t even hesitate. I wanted to ask her what happened to all that beauty.
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
